How work
dup the original 2 times
run gmic Bw pencil on a dup

now for the dup on top TOOLS/ Gegl operation c2g

now the point here is the grain, to have a good grasin with have to mantain the value for "sample" low ...as from 4 to 10, and low also that for "iteration " no more then 12....best is look the preview should be...nice and grainy

then change the layer mode in multiply, lower opacity (i was in a range from 50% to 75% ) et voila
About the original layer .. above i didn't used but could come handy on top of everything in color mode but very low opacirty to add a slight tint as here ....here the (strecthed )"original" layer was on top with5% opacity in color mode

Damn ,i didn't want upload that last image , i did by mistake but the forum didn't allow me to replace or delete
(clicking Edit i can see the other 2 attachements but not that last...still is displayed
This was the right one

Oh, I love those PC!!! Going to have to try doing something like that.

Old cars are perfect for that. Wow!

very nice PC.... I love ole cars...

I bookmarked that link for future references. =)
I love those old cars.

Currently i am working on sort of a panorama for my township.
The theme is then and now and features, or will feature an horse and buggy in black and white fading to a new farmers pickup truck.All photos were taken right here in Allendale.

old:


new:
still looking =)

That's really cool. Is it a tractor? What does it run on?

I'm not a farm girl so don't know one farm machine from another.

Not sure, ill have to look into it. =)

PhotoComix, I tried one like yours.

Original image is here: http://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/005/pictures/Old-Car.jpg



Then I tried it on your picture, Rod. I lightened the original image just a little.

looks like it might be an old tractor??? I wonder if it ran on burning coal, looks sort of like a burn box up front.

I hunted around with google, and I think I found it. It's down the page a ways (around the 15th set down)...it's a steam powered tractor.
clicky

You found the same tractor, Toni. How cool is that? Wow!

Did PhotoComix's method on this car. Duplicated the results, did BWSketch and ran the GEGL Operation on those results, Layer mode multiply again, lowered the opacity and merged it down.

Got the original image here: http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicc/cfiles5950.jpg



Original image Used GEGL on a BWSketch layer, set the layer mode to Saturation, Opacity 65. Saturation mode gave it a faint sepia color.

That is so awesome, a kerosene run tractor cooled by oil...go figure. =)
Thanks for the information on it!
Also that is way neat you found another image of it.

I think instead of the horse and buggy i will use the Allendale tractor as the old B&W part of the panorama.
With your permission i would like to add that description of it at the bottom.

Those images look real cool with that filter, nice job you guys!

Oregonian they are all nice i specially like that slightly colored on the last page

i am really fascinated by the look and posture of the drivers in the first photo ..with no protection of sort from crash or even dust and rain

That description is on the website that 2-Ton put the link for in her post. It's not my description. AFAIC, use it.

That color appeared when I was browsing the layer modes and the Saturation mode made it that color.

It is unusual. The back looks like it may have a cover that can be pulled up like old convertibles used to have. The drivers may be out of luck, but then again perhaps there is a cover somewhere we are not seeing.

Seat belts came a long time later.

i am very happy with this water steam tractor

same routine a 1 layer c2g, 1 gmic sketch, 1 gmic pencil to mix
and when happy the original on top in color mode but very low opacity

Oh, I like that PC! Very nice.

I tried my hand at a rusty piece of farm equipment I found here.

After doing the GEGL operation it was much darker.



It's dark because I forgot to lower the opacity on the GEGL layer. Here it is at opacity 65%.



Another one. This one I ran color temperature in gegl to make the picture not so yellowish. Original here

i like all of them !
On my monitor the darker is not too dark but the other is fine too !

I love the look of the rusty farm equip...especially the second pic. Looks very much like an ink and water color picture.

Those are all great! =)
